Spawn of elite mobs in sector 3 now begins after 7 minutes, instead of 10.
The last player who entered the system is now used to count down the time of elite mobs. Thanks to this, you can now jump out for resupply and go back in without resetting the elite "timer".
The chance of getting a modularity drop now also depends on both the elite mob's strength and the mob's overall strength.
The panel with the offer to read the license agreement has been localized.
The language selection in the client login has been brought to the foreground.
Added the appropriate types of ammunition to the shops on planets where droids requiring ammunition were sold.
For better visual visibility, the ally attack blocker is now highlighted each time an attack fails.
Confirmation of training cancellation and agreement to micro-improvements of ships now have a 3-second "Yes" lock, due to players agreeing without reading.
The description for the "Espionage" quest has been updated.
Now it requires confirmation when quickly sending credits for the quest.
Targeted kills for the quests now show quest icon correctly when hovering over the target.
Locations with item uses in them now correctly shows the quest icon when you are hovering over them and they are needed for quests.
Pinning/unpinning quests now works correctly when the tracker is closed.
Removed visual errors that caused animations to get stuck at the tracker quests during their opening/closing.
Players are no longer highlighted with a quest icon if they have the same ship as the quest targets.
Items no longer receive information from the previously selected object.
Fixed a visual bug with the quest tracking block "freezing" when completing one of its actions.
Speed microupgrades are now immediately applied to the current ship speed.
TL;DR: We like comic books!
One thing we've heard a lot about GrimKeep is "That reminds me of \[most commonly Darkest Dungeon]". If you're working in any visual arts field, you're probably used to this. Brains are pattern matching machines, and when presented with stimuli, it will spit out the closest or sometimes most recent match it has. Sometimes to hilariously off-the-mark comparisons!
The truth is that the end result is an amalgamation of many things. Let's break it down:
Once we had settled that it needed to be a 2.5D game, we intended to explore various styles, but one of the first tests was based on older fantasy comics like "Savage Sword of Conan" and others from that era. The brightest shining artist from that group, is John Buscema, although many greats have illustrated comics in that era and style.
Immediately after doing the first test drawings inspired by this style, we felt that it was 100% right for us, so we just stuck with it. Quick not about inspiration; we're not putting a lot of energy into copying exactly how these comic book greats drew. We know we're not the crème de la crème of that style. It's a starting point, and we're using some of their techniques, but we're our own artists, and we're using different tools and have different constraints. So apologies to Mr Buscema and his colleagues for the blasphemies we commit! :)
Something that took a bit longer to settle on was which colors and values (how light or dark it is). In the beginning there were a lot of reds in the drawings and the UI. But as we were fleshing out what kind of world the game takes place in, it wasn't quite right. We eventually settled on unhealthy greens, greys, and browns. The greens represent the eldritch, the lovecraft-esque monstrosities. The greys and browns represent the dystopian reality of a world without hope. Also, grey is a backdrop color, something that lets other more saturated colors draw the attention of the viewer. Browns are low saturation orange and red, which is complementary to green. You could almost say that it's basically a green game, and the rest is just supporting those greens.
We do allow ourselves to use any color we want for highlights, accents and color pops, but the general impression should be towards greens. Art direction is to a large degree self-imposed restrictions, and so far, we're pretty pleased with the ones we've picked.
There's also values. I guess it's pretty clear that GrimKeep is a dark game. Not just in setting and theme, but also in value. It's probably no surprise that we'd avoid brightness and strong colors in a dystopic setting like ours. But finding the right balance have taken some doing. It also forced David to implement Gamma settings very early in the project. We have had a few awkward presentations where a screenshot that looks great on a high quality screen in a shaded room, apparently becomes just a dark grey square on a projector in a lit room!
Finally, all these 2D assets are all put together in a 3D scene in Unity. Here we have some tools at our disposal that the comic book artists of the 70s and 80s didn't have. We (mostly Samuel to be fair) add lights, effects, and some post processing. These are very nice things to have, that adds life to what is essentially still images.
The UI has its own style, separate from the art. It took many iterations to settle on it. We tried to make it in the same drawn style. We tried several versions of highly rendered material-based elements. Nothing really clicked until in a fit of inspired frustration, Henrik did a quick test with very flat UI elements, focusing on the color, values, silhouette and dropshadows.
Most of the effort goes into tweaking and testing the values of the individual elements, to make sure it is in its right place in the "attention hierarchy". UI needs to be clear, readable, and obvious most of the time, but aesthetically it should not overpower the art, the environments, the characters.
Every screen is a delicate balance act of what draws the attention of the viewer, and in what order.
Another major part of GrimKeep is the "items" that you equip on your journey.
These are drawn similarly to how we draw the characters, but with a bigger focus on readability and them fitting neatly into the item slots. They could represent any object, which can present a challenge. In particular long and thin items like a sword or spear, would be at very small scale if you're trying to fit them into a small square. With these we take some liberties, and show the most significant part only.

If you're curious, on our various socials we regularly post timelapses of the artists drawing.

Hello c*ck trainers!
To make sure the bug gets fixed without needing to disable fullscreen optimization, you will have to reinstall the game, so Steam can update the installation's folder name.
Make sure you're running the latest update (1.0.140-full). Look for the game version in your in-game Settings menu.
Ps: Reinstalling the game shouldn't affect your save files.
If for some reason the issue still persists, check this thread for other possible solutions:

Thank you for your time and have a great week!
Angelo
We have fixed minor bugs in the demo version.
Please note that this update makes previous save data incompatible.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
What if Blade of Darkness had a spiritual successor? what if it was set in a period which only ever shows up in Paradox Map Games: 1520s Germany? Neither Cross Nor Crown comes out today!
Peace be upon you travelers,

Added a new interactive scroll in the second level for you to discover
